Having GTK+ defs in GTK+ will work if that part of GTK+ has a
maintainer, so that changes can be made instantly. It might not be
possible for all other modules, but it doesn't need to be.
I would expect individual bindings to copy the .defs out of GTK+ at
regular intervals rather than actually using the file directly from
GTK+. Otherwise there is a big risk of breaking 4 bindings projects when
1 binding project makes a change.
